Ratings and reviews

Neat app! Haven't been using it for long, but awesome for family trees in stories. Saw another review that recommended a "make an account" option, and I agree. I don't want to lose all the entries I've made. Also, I love that you can add other details about the individual. Would love more options for that like zodiac signs, ethnicity, and maybe even a separate age category (since sometimes the year in a fictional place is undefined or you know a person's age, but not their birthday).

App was pretty nice to use at first, but once your tree gets larger it starts glitching and lagging a lot. It also constantly downloads zip files onto my phone, causing my storage to fill up. This morning I opened the app, and almost all of my pictures were gone. Now I have to re do everything. The app is very frustrating, and I hope bugs like this are fixed soon.

Imported my GEDcom file fine. Displays the tree ok. I personally like the block shaped tree over the squiggly line. Going up the tree works but trying to return to previous branch works sometimes and sometimes goes to a random individual or back to initial entry. Takes a few extra clicks when this happens but so far it doesn't affect the data. Initial opening always goes to the diagram/tree. I don't see a way to open automatically to another view.
